Church was awesome today and the sermon today really touched my heart. The specific verse that really hit me was 1 John 2:15-17. Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world–the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does–comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
What a powerful verse and strong message. Nothing in this world can give us joy like Jesus can. The world can't give us joy and it definitely can't take it away from us. This verse speaks to me because I did suffer from all the cravings of a sinful man. With the help of God the Father and his Son Jesus I will conquer the hold my sinful flesh has over me an live a life that is pleasing to God. I need to be an example to the lost and confused in the world and let my light shine for Christ.
